Name and History
This south-eastern region of Taiwan was originally dominated by the Puyuma people. The township's name originates from the Puyuma language and is in memory of a great chief, Pinara.[1]
During the Dutch era, the Dutch called it Pimala. During Qing rule, access to the area (Chinese: 卑南八社) was prohibited.
In 1875, Pi-lam Subprefecture (卑南廳) was established. During the period of Japanese rule, Pinan Village (卑南庄) was established under Taitō District (台東郡), Taitō Prefecture.
